Dragon Age 10 Unanswered Questions We Still Have About The Elves

Dragon Age features a lot of interesting Elven characters. Here are some questions we still have about the creatures. With the next game in the series still a very long way from release, fans of the series are left to don tin foil hats, pore over lore, and wonder about what is to come, as well as what has come before. “One day the magic will come back. All of it. People will be just as they were. The shadows will part, and the skies will open wide. When he rises, everyone will see.“ Sandal the Dwarven crafting wunderkind says in Dragon Age II. This could relate to and "The Dread Wolf Rises", but there are so many other questions about Solas and elves themselves left unanswered. What is Fenris the Lyrium Ghost up to these days? What about Merrill or her Keeper or even Briala (if they survived the player's choices)? Furthermore, what about the whole reason why Solas is on his mission to begin with: the Elven Gods? Let's address questions fans still have about elves in Dragon Age. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

Did the Elven pantheon get reincarnated

There are a few popular fan theories out there regarding certain members of known as the Evanuris. It includes a kind of reincarnation where the gods/goddesses reappear as characters found throughout the Dragon Age series. Though Sandal being June (the god of crafting) is popular, the most popular theory is that is the reincarnation (or perhaps original version) of Andruil, goddess of the Hunt. Legend has it that Andruil liked to hunt in a placed called “”, but would come back a little madder each time. Eventually, Mythal had to wipe her memory of the Void and her knowledge of how to get there. But it stands to reason that the madness stuck around all the same. It may also account for Sera’s oddball habits, behaviors, and sensibilities. But how likely is this to be true?

Will the other Forgotten Ones ever come into play

Don’t confuse these with “”; those are demons. These are exiled members of the Elven pantheon known as Anaris, Geldauran, Daern’thal, and (shocker). Unfortunately, not much lore exists around the other three members of this group. What fans do know, however, is that Fen’Harel betrayed both and the Evanuris when he sundered the Veil. Before that, these three supposedly dwelled in a place known as “The Void” or “The Abyss” which, as mentioned before, supposedly drove Andruil mad. If Solas succeeds in restoring his old world, one can’t imagine these guys would be too pleased with him despite attaining their potential freedom.

Are There Any Other Evanuris Wandering Around Thedas

Solas is a special example as he slept for hundreds of years before waking up to enact his plan to remake his old world and people. But Mythal (better known as Flemeth to fans) was just up and about walking around, using willing supplicants or daughters to live forever. If that’s the case, could there potentially be more Evanuris members who survived the sundering of the Veil? Let’s hope it’s not Ghilan’nain who may or may not have experimented on her fellow elves and tried to merge them with animals. Neat.

Are The Corrupted Archdemon Dragons Elves

Urthemiel says get up, clap your hands, say yeah! Fans of the original game Dragon Age: Origins will recognize this archdemon as the big bad who led the Fifth Blight. His real name, as above, is Urthemiel the Dragon of Beauty as worshiped by Tevinter cults. He has a few pals responsible for previous Blights and two more still slumbering in the Deep Roads. Some fans recall that the ; they just look like dragons. They are corrupted old gods and Tevinter gods at that. But there is a case to be made for these gods having been elves at some point. After all, Mythal can turn into a dragon! Some fans go as far as to say that and the Archdemons are trying to tear down the Veil. Whatever turns out to be true, there are still two old gods remaining for the Dark Spawn to find.

How Many Elves Have Already Joined Solas

Players of Dragon Age II will recognize Merrill's Keeper on the left while Inquisition fans will recognize Briala on the bottom right. These are just two of many possible recruits Solas could have taken into his ranks by the time rolls around. Players won't know how far or deep the Dread Wolf's network goes. Former allies could now become spies and enemies. Or...perhaps they could be double agent opportunities, as well. The trick to these two specifically is that, depending on the player's choices, they can die in the game. Despite Solas' connection to spirits and the Fade, it seems unlikely for the developers to resurrect random people without plot relevance. Unless?

How Are Elves Treated in Rivain Antiva and Elsewhere

We saw in Dragon Age II how elves were treated about the same in Kirkwall as they were in certain parts of Orlais and Fereldan. But fans of the series will remember Antivan Crow and elf from Dragon Age: Origins. He held a coveted spot as one of the few to best the Crows at their own games on top of being an accomplished and talented assassin as an elf. So Ativans may not treat elves with venom or enslave them like other countries in Thedas do. Though the next game is rumored to take place in Tevinter, some fans would like to see more information about cities and cultures in other countries like Nevarra, Rivain, and beyond.

How Many Other Lyrium Ghosts Are There

Another fan favorite companion from Dragon Age II, Fenris is unique in that his body is covered with tattoos infused with lyrium. Though a product of being a slave to a Tevinter magister, these tattoos enable him to become a . Fenris says that he won a lottery of sorts and was promised that his family would be taken care of if he committed himself to this process. So it stands to reason that there are other man-made Lyrium Ghosts out there. Let's save Leliana possibly for another time.

Why Are All Of The Dalish Clans So Disparate

Over the course of the Dragon Age games, players have met a few Dalish clans. Their player characters can also be from the Dalish, as well. But each and every clan operates differently with only a few similarities to bond them: being Elves, chasing history, having Keepers, and distrusting humans (with good reason). Perhaps it is the Romani-esque nature of the Dalish that promotes continued disparity. But none of the clans seem to be in cahoots with each other in the games. Despite Solas' disgust for what elves have become, he seeks to unite them, as well. The Elves have tried to rebel in the past and one need only look at the Emerald Graves to infer how most Dalish and City Elves feel about trying that again.

Are There Other Elven Mages Who Practice Blood Magic

Solas says in DA: I that practicing blood magic makes entering the Fade more difficult. This could explain why there is so little information on Elves potentially practicing blood magic throughout history. It could also explain why Merrill's Keeper was so against her even dabbling in blood magic. With the next game being set in the Tevinter Imperium, fans may learn more about Elves and their relationship with blood magic. Bonus question: what is Merrill up to these days anyway?

What Scared The Evanuris So Bad That They Sealed It Underground With Magic

Legend has it that before the supposed murder of Mythal, the Evanuris got spooked by something enough to seal it underground in the Deep Roads. Nevermind the Dwarves, right? The codex entry “Veilfire Runes in the Deep Roads” says "What the Evanuris in their greed could unleash would end us all. Let this place be forgotten. Let no one wake its anger. The People must rise before their false gods destroy them all." In-game, the Inquisitor says that elves mined Titan bodies for lyirum, but this seems different from the Titans. Solas also constantly talks about wars between the Evanuris, but this is an odd scenario where they band together against something else. This could reference a little referenced group known as -- a humanoid, but reptilian race rumored to have warred with the Dwarves around 1195 Ancient. But this seems like too small a threat for the Evanuris. It had to be what would become the Darkspawn, lead to the Blight, and whatever corrupted the Archdemons which may or may not be elves and/or dragons. Simple!
